We are hosting a race here in Auburn Feb 27-28. The road race will be in Loachapoka and the crit will be in downtown Opelika. We would love to have the EACC involved in some capacity. We have set up a way for people to sign up to volunteer if they want to (link: http://vols.pt/msPguY).

Bruce is a well-known long-distance cyclist, long-time ride director of the Montgomery Bike Club, and newly-appointed RUSA RBA (Randonneurs USA, Regional Brevet Administrator).
Bruce will decode the language and demystify the sport of long-distance, self-supported cycling. He'll share the history of randonneuring in Europe, the US, and Alabama, including the revived Alabama Randonneurs. He’ll introduce the P-12 that some of us have already begun and maybe get more of us to join.
An advocate of lugged steel, Bruce has restored many a retired frame and converted it from a 700C to accommodate a 650B wheel. Aficionados like Jan Heine (Bicycle Quarterly) are also advocates of the 650B wheel. He’ll explain and demonstrate the differences and the advantages.
No slides but Bruce plans to bring wheels and randonneuring equipment including a control card and how to use it.

Happy New Year! The EACC crew wants to see you at more meetings in the New Year so we’re asking you to help us plan a schedule of meetings and workshops that will bring you out after a long day. We’ll finalize the schedule at January’s meeting.
Here’s what we have so far for meetings and workshops:
Workshop/Experiment: “How Many Gears Do You Use?”: Tim wants to conduct an experiment to uncover just how many gears we use in a typical ride and how many do we really need? Tim will add clarity and details at the next meeting.
We have six (6) open months. Here are some ideas we’re floating. Please indicate your preference and especially please add your ideas for meetings and workshops. (PLEASE NOTE that we have NOT YET contacted any of the people mentioned.)
YOUR IDEAS HERE:
Please tell me what you like and what you’d nix in the list. Be sure to add your suggestions. Thanks and we wish you the most wonderful new year! Angela (lakwete@gmail.com)

On behalf of the staff and Board of the Davis Phinney Foundation, we thank the Johnny Ray community for your time and generosity to the Davis Phinney Foundation.
The Davis Phinney Foundation was founded in 2004 with the mission to help people with Parkinson’s to live well today. Our programs are life-changing, unique, and innovative. Having impacted nearly 200,000 people living with Parkinson’s last year alone, with a relatively small operating budget, we are proud of our work and also know there is much more work to be done.
The generosity and efforts of the Johnny Ray riders, sponsors, volunteers, donors and organizers will help us impact the lives of so many more in 2015 and beyond.
Eileen Mullin-Gasteier
VP of Development
